With 9 years of experience as a startup founder, several years of experience as an intrapreneur launching new businesses from within a corporate environment and mentoring dozens of startups over the past years, I have extensive hands-on experience to help your startup or scaleup with business development and leadership. My key expertise is around go-to-market strategy and execution from the perspective of go-to-market for the first market (new product/service) as well as go-to-market for expansion purposes (new countries or verticals). This is something I have worked with in my previous life both in my own startups as well as as a business development manager in a corporation so I’m talking strongly from my own experience and have plenty of illustrative examples and stories to share.
Erik was great, shared lots of his exprience, and helped us understand what our company in its current state should focus on to develop in most efficient way. He helped us to understand what are our weaknesses and challanges, and what are our strong points. We learend the most from him.
Piotr Osica, CEO at Spacive
Additionally, I’m happy to help startups with overall business development, their pitch(deck), investment readiness (from a startup perspective), startup leadership and HR, marketing, PR, brand and communications strategies. I have worked with both early-stage startups as well as scaleups with up to 140 employees from social media and platforms to medical, space and AI startups. I feel comfortable mentoring a wide range of startups from a variety of sectors because I am focused on the growth and business side of the venture – I’m not the right person to help with technical and CTO-related areas.
